Adult ADHD
After decades of struggling with ADHD, adults have learned strategies to cope, or have developed secondary disorders like Depression or Anxiety. Either way, Adult ADHD looks different.

What’s interesting is that no one has commented on the fact that I’m riding on a very bizarre bike. It’s like, “What would you expect?”
P.S.: I rode that bike, in 2005, from Toronto to Montreal in a charity bike rally. 622 kms. Or about 385 miles in six days. And because it’s a recumbent, and you sit in a comfy chair that feels like a chaisse lounge, I was the only one out of 180 riders who didn’t have an aching butt. By the way, I had to get in such good shape, it was incredible. And my ADHD went way down.
This guy obviously doesn’t live in KS, where bicyclists don’t stop for lights. LOL! This is totally my father on a bike. Except that my dad drives a big truck.
Ha ha ha! XFiles should have been on a bike beside me!
And Ladyplayah, I hear you. The feeling that there are 1,000 things I should be doing or have to get to is just disheartening if I let it run away with my thoughts.
Someone once pointed out that no one ever has their To-Do list done, unless they lead a very small life. I have been trying to relate to my To-Do lists as places to keep track of things, rather than something that has to be done and finished at some point, like a book or a hockey game. It helps. A bit anyway.
Ha! Actually I’m the opposite of Bill here. I’m hyperfocused on the personal travel (cars, bike, walking, etc). I would have hopped off that bike, hit that walk light, and had my bike with me ready to run across, and while waiting, cursing under my breath that the danged light was taking forever.
I would never have noticed the shoe strings until I got back on the bike, and THEN the fiasco would begin, also cursing the strings were holding me up and then I would notice I crossed the wrong street to begin with. I needed the other street. Now I have to get back off my bike, press the light to go back. “Of course! Nothing can just WORK like it’s supposed to! I can’t just go on a bike ride and everything just go according to plan… wasting my time. grumble grumble. I should be well on my way by now! Look at me!” Heh.
My problem is if I put extra time in to do the things I am supposed to do in relationship to a bike ride, I do other things during that time, because suddenly I have more time! It’s frustrating no matter what! I relate to so much of this. Ugh!
FANTASTIC!!
If someone gave me a time machine I’d be so much happier and more successful, unless I forgot where I put it… also this video reminds me I was gonna get out my mountain bike and get in shape this summer… what happened?
I started saying something to myself a few years back.. “Time…It”s all Relative”
And people wonder why I always add half an hour to my initial estimate of how long anything will take…
Hilarious. If my wife sees this, I’m going to be so busted.
